Family Background
The parents are professionals, the father works full time and the mother works part time. They live in the centre of Geneva and they have two beautiful children. One is 4, and the other is three months old. They have had a full-time maternity nanny since their first child was born - alongside maternity nurses to get the family into a great routine. They do not have any pets in their home. They live in a beautiful city centre home in Geneva, and lead an active and busy life. They have a housekeeper who attends the property each day, and enjoy travel.
